Re: Is it a Hotpoint RZ84N freezer?

Ah, figured that something bizarre was going on when I realised it was stuck down somehow. But appreciate you posting this,

Re: Hoover VHC691B tumble dryer short circuit

Hmmm, confused.
I left this a few days in case it was moisture causing a short, tried it about a week later, still tripped the RCD when door closed and program button turned. No flashing lights to indicate failure type,so as Martin said, assumed this was a heater/temp sensor problem.
Since I wouldn’t have got a part over Xmas, and my heating in the house failed for a week, only got round to trying to fix this last week. Took off the rear metal cover plate first, pulled off the two connectors to test, replaced them back onto the contacts. Thought atthis stage better check the problem was still there before going int othe innards to test the heater and general wiring. Switched it on, all was fine, didn’t trip the RCD. Have run two loads now, it is still fine.
Other than a loose connection somewhere, or possibly moisture causing a short,, I’m stumped as to what the problem could be /have been (and whether its likely to occur again, very probably I would think).

Any ideas, anyone ?
Also,has anyone got a maintenance/service manual for this model?

thanks
